Cash-for-Vote scam: Big Relief for TDP!

Legal Experts express the view evidence procured through sting operation will be treated as illegal in the court of law.

In April last year, A bench headed by then Supreme Court Chief Justice P Sathasivam made it clear that sting operation can't be treated as a legal procedure to nab a criminal.

In Addition, ACB Sleuths have committed a blunder by not seeking the permission of Election Commission for the sting operation to trap an MLA as the Model Code of Conduct was in force in Telangana in view of the MLA Elections. ACB couldn't even use the evidence provided by a third party but in this case an iPhone of TRS Nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson was used in the sting operation.

Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu expresses confidence that these factors could work against ACB and T-Government in the court of law. He opines leakage of the video tapes of sting operation would come under criminal breach of trust.
